Yep ...  if you need to change the size of the contents of a window 
while
keeping the top left point the same, you need to use
+frameRectForContentRect:styleMask: to get the size of frame required,
then (if necessary) adjust the frame rect origin so that the top left 
corner
is the same as the current frame rect of the window, then call
-setFrame:display: to make the change.
